Delayed travel and still chowing down “in the cold, cold city…”

Let's warm it up so these babies can catch their flights!

These 7 month olds are on the way to their forever homes. Is yours in there?

The last few babies from 2025.
6 weeks in the cooler and now they're eating everything in sight.
Sunning after supper. 😎

Please join us in congratulating the infernalis class of 2025!

They're 3 months old. They devour pinkies from both plate and tong. They keep their hands to themselves and do not bite their friends.

We're proud to showcase these honors graduates, who are ready to embrace all that the next vivarium has to offer.

Oh, the places they'll go!

We posted a pic of this little cutie the other day. Some of the scales didn't form correctly, giving it a kink and hindering its movement. Can you see the deformity?

Food fight!
Another day saving lives.

Updated to add:
Most people enjoy feeding their pets and watching them eat. A single garter in a tank is easy to serve. Put food in a bowl and check back later to make sure it’s been eaten. Not so fast in a group enclosure! Feeding can be frenzied, chaotic, and even downright dangerous.

You absolutely must supervise every minute that food is in the tank in a group enclosure. Inevitably, two snakes decide to share the same bite and a fight gets underway. When neither lets go, one can inadvertently swallow their tank mate, killing one or even both.

Here are a few examples that we filmed for learning purposes only. We quickly stepped in to separate the culprits. We recommend separating aggressive eaters and shy eaters into smaller groups. We also transition our babies to tong feeding, which helps keep everyone busy chewing their own bite. It also speeds up meal time.

William’s littlest little, a special needs case, who we’re coaxing along. 💕

Early morning / still groggy.
